EXCEEDED QUOTAS.
AMERICAN IMMIGRATION PROBLEM.
RUSSIANS FACING DEPORTATION
(Received 15. 8.45 a.m.) New York, Nov. 14
Two thousand immigrants, chiefly Russians, wlxo are included among the 4000 excess quota admitted under parole, face deportation unless Mr. Davis (Secretary of Labour) specially orders their admittance.
Charges of discrimination are being raised since 2000 Britons, composing half the excess quota, were admitted while orders were received cancelling the Russian immigrant paroles. Caustic observers meanwhile alleged that Mr. Davis’s so-called humanitarian act is really a design to save the Shipping Board’s paying the cash penalty of 400,000 dollars which under the law they would be compelled to pay because one of their vessels brought this excess quota.
